On Tuesday, April 1, students across Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco ISD (BB-PBISD) will wear blue to show their support for Autism Awareness Month, joining a nationwide effort to raise awareness, increase understanding, and promote acceptance of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The school-wide event, will have students from all grade levels sporting their favorite shades of blue, from T-shirts and socks to hats and wristbands. It will be a visual display of solidarity for the autism community, and a reminder of the importance of fostering a more inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of their differences.

The event is not just about raising awareness—it was also a chance for the school community to come together in support of one another. Students who wore blue came together to celebrate diversity and show that every individual, no matter their abilities, deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.
